Birdy Fairygirl was right- it's a Sambucus Black Lace. I love the pink with the dark background. Afraid I can't tell you what it likes- it will grow big but I will keep it pruned as it is in a pot.There are probably other people on here who can give more help.
Fairygirl that fence is really something to be proud of- it's amazing. I can see that woman John is talking about
Took a few photos today in between the showers with the new camera, no idea what the poppy is, it just arrived with another variety which unfortunately has no petals after the wind blew them all off
Nice pics Fred#60. unfortunately the file sizes are too big and they will not enlarge when we click on each pic to see them more clearly. Screen just goes blank and the title across the top reads max at the end which basically means too large. What camera do you have? I've just invested in a Panasonic TZ40 which is brilliant but I have to decrease picture quality to 3 mp and then in photoshop set the pixels to 1024x768. Pics then upload fine. John H
FG and Bev, thanks for identifying Sambucus Black Lace.
If it is an elder does that mean will could have 'terrorist' inclinations like ground elder? (I knocked myself up waging war on the ground elder over the last few days and have been out of gardening action as a result. Wouldn't want to bring it reinforcements!)
But it still is a beautiful plant - perhaps I could keep it prisoner in a pot?

no relation birdy, don't worry. Just leaves a simlar shape
In the sticks near Peterborough
Hi John, it`s a canon eos kiss x5 which is an 600d in Europe, it`s 18mp unfortunately so well above 3mp.
nut's right re the Sambucus Birdy - no Triffid-style monster fortunately - just a lovely shrub!
Lovely foliage on them - if you like finely cut Acers you'd probably like these. Similar 'feel' to them.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Thanks Nut and FG for reassurance on Sambucus.
FairyG; very impressed by the fence!
